How to use it
Start from a trip, then add or remove squares to match where you’re driving.
Choose 4×4 for little ones or 5×5 with a free middle square, and how many cards to print. Every card is different.
Print one card for each child. A clipboard and a crayon make it easy in the car.
Mark each thing as you spot it. A full row, column or diagonal is bingo.
Questions parents ask
How are the cards different?
Each card puts the squares in its own order. Add more squares than a card holds and every card gets its own mix as well. Tap “Shuffle the cards” for a fresh set.
Which size is best for younger kids?
4×4 has bigger squares and fewer things to find, so it suits preschoolers. Older kids usually like 5×5 with the free middle square.
Can my child play before they can read?
Yes. Picture squares show the word under the picture, so they can match what they see out the window. Squares you type yourself print as words only, so read those together before you set off.
How do we make the cards last the whole trip?
Slip each card into a sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker, or mark squares with small stickers or coins. Print a spare set for the drive home.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
